Be'itknown that I, EDGAR H.- FREEMAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at 'l'renton. in the county of ercer and State of New Jent-yyhave mventedcertaln-new and usefnl Improvements in Pull-Chain Guides, of which the following is a specificailtin, i

Thisim'ention relates to chain guides for, electrical pull sockets, and has in view a.n.

improved construction of .guide possessing all of the'elmracterist-ics and functions of the conventionalone-pieee pull chain guide or horn, while, at: the Same'ti ne, providing means whereby the-main guiding member or hell of the guide may be readily find-coirv wenieniiy handled for purconfinement thmngh simple manipulationof the gntiilealnl may he laicl in and removed [Intel-ally. At the same time the intention 'prot-iiles a mnetrnetiim \ihieh admits of *n'snal threading opemtion of the chain through-the guide if conditions so require;
